Hey Michel! Thanks :) Here's what we're building, starting with the why.
The internet never got an operating system. Your laptop has one, and it gives you a home for your files and apps that you control. The internet only connects computers, so the big platforms filled that gap and became the internet's operating system by default.
That's why your photos, playlists, contacts, chats and now your AI sit on their computers, under their rules. They can change the price, change the rules, lock your account or shut down, and your stuff goes with them. We rent our digital lives.
ElastOS is an open attempt at that missing layer. It's software on your own computer, not a hosted service. You install ElastOS, sign in with a passkey, and Home opens, a desktop in your browser where your apps, files and AI model run on your own machine (Mac or Linux). The difference is it's yours, not theirs.
Behind Home, the Runtime works like a key desk: before an app acts, it checks the app's key. You add people by their DID, a signed ID you own, not a company login, and share files with them. No platform landlord in the middle.
That's the first layer, and your Home already reaches other Homes over Carrier, Elastos's own network, by identity rather than server. The bigger aim is the full stack Elastos has worked toward for years: identity and rights anchored on a public blockchain instead of a company's database, and the same rules covering your data, your money and the rights to what you make. One sovereign computing environment that you own, end to end.
At the base of Elastos is its own blockchain, backed by Bitcoin merged mining: Bitcoin miners can mine it with the same work they already do, the idea Satoshi described for BitDNS in 2010. Its coin is ELA, and it's governed by an elected community council, the Elastos DAO (formerly Cyber Republic), not a company.
The design comes from Rong Chen (@chen2rong2): "the highest design principle of an operating system should be 'non-interference' (Wu Wei)." The system stays out of your business instead of being the business.
The aim is one narrow key per app that you can take back, nothing with power by default, and apps named by their content, not by the server they sit on.
v2.0.0, the first stable release, just shipped, MIT open source: github.com/elastos/elastos-r…
$ELA is starting to gain awareness. During the upcoming months, it's Internet Operating System will likely become one of the hottest topics in the space.

If someone like Mr. Michel Bauwens starts taking an interest in ElastOS 👇, someone whom Satoshi Nakamoto himself approached for his insights and advice on Bitcoin back in 2009, then surely it's time for even those who have overlooked @ElastosInfo until now to sit up and pay attention.
Incidentally, Satoshi himself foresaw that Bitcoin's significance would one day go far beyond simply being a store of value. And perhaps that's precisely why crypto OGs are starting to take an interest in elastos:native .
Not only is elastos:native merge-mined alongside $BTC, but Bitcoin's hashrate is also one of the security pillars on which the new internet will soon stand.
That's right. In case you missed it, Bitcoin's computing power helps secure the internet running on ElastOS.
Those who understand what's happening here surely realise that one day, movies will be made about these very moments. 🎬🚀

Now see from the video ElastOS runtime code (10k lines of code) being directly embedded on the chip itself.
We are witnessing the creative destruction of the internet due to its architecture, what rises from it is a new network operating system to protect all at the most fundamental level.

Elastos Runtime v0.7.1 is out
Local AI models and updates to Home, Browser and Services bring us closer to ElastOS v2, built natively on Runtime.
This is a developer release, not yet ready for everyday use.

Fuck yeah!!
Deep in staking mode, awaiting the inevitable inflection point.
The World Computer awaits, and with it comes new Web3 economic models.
Web3 OS, bulletproof runtime, digital ownership rights, secondary markets, local AI models, IoT revenue streams.

At today’s price, $ELA is personally the only candidate I see for a 1000x this bull run. Don’t buy it, study it first. And by the way, what @ElastosInfo has built was one of the primary reasons why Satoshi gave $BTC to the world. If you’re reading these words, try to take them as a sign. At least just this once.

Through bull & bear, this man and his core team have been building the decentralised web
When the narrative shifts to digital ownership and earning money for participating in the Web3 economy, a lot of people are gonna be sore they didn't pay more attention
$ELA World Computer
I came for the bulletproof decentralised operating system, I stayed for the economic models it enables.
What have your devs been upto during the bear? That's all that matters - did we invest in the right people and vision? Will the ecosystem generate revenue?

The internet was never built with a lock on the door.
Every app sees more than it should. Every service holds more than it needs. And users have no real say in any of it.
@ElastosInfo is 26yrs into building the fix. A sovereign operating system for the internet where every app
The end goal is that instead of accessing your digital life through somebody else’s cloud, your device becomes your own sovereign node in the internet - your identity, computer, AI, property rights and economy all under your control.
Own. Earn. Control.
Follow builders $ELA
The powerful thing about combining a sovereign agentic workspace with a sovereign operating system is that you finally own your identity, computer, rights, and finances, all in one place.
This is the World Computer Ethereum originally envisioned. Decentralized applications that run locally, uniting on chain (identity, finance, rights) and off chain (compute, storage, networking) innovation into a digital home (OS) that anyone can download, run, inspect, fork, and improve.
ElastOS will be fully open source in the coming months. Anyone will be able to contribute, fork, or build on it. As long as implementations follow the core standards and protocols, the entire ecosystem remains interoperable across all ecosystems.
Think of it as the first digital home you truly own. Instead of renting space in someone else's cloud, you own the property itself. Your AI runs locally. Your data stays with you. You build and deploy applications from your own machine. You connect directly to other people's digital homes over a decentralized network. When you purchase digital goods, they are delivered directly to your home through Elacity dDRM protocol and everyone is paid immediately.
The local first economy compounds over time. Technology consistently gives us more capability with less dependence on centralized intermediaries. The internet is not simply becoming more decentralized. It is evolving into an agentic operating system that runs on our own devices instead of someone else's infrastructure.
Now let me check the grammar of this on OpenAI. 😅 Not there yet.
Such a shame, but everything here is true
Fortunately The WCI and Elacity are still developing at an incredible rate thanks to Sash, Ahmed and their teams
A new dawn is coming
Bad actors will be dealt with
Deliverables will speak for themselves

ElastOS v1.2 is getting close ⚡
A lot has been happening this week as the team keeps pushing toward release later this month. Work has continued across the runtime, dDRM V3, dApps running directly inside PC2, block explorer progress, and bringing council node costs down.
That includes more testing around room-based permissions, more work on separate ElastOS computers interacting with each other in real time, continued progress on getting dApps running properly inside the personal cloud computer, and ongoing infrastructure work to make node operation cheaper while keeping the same stability.
And that is only part of this weeks progress..

Incredible overview on the phenomenal progress of the #Elastos World Computer initiative - the autonomous internet where computation, ownership & identity belong to users, not corporate gatekeepers!
Seeing is believing. Data is $$$. #Elastos is delivering our Web3 dreams. $ELA
Happy New Year! 🥂 2025 was the WCI foundation. 2026 is the breakthrough. Elacity CEO @sash__mit breaks down the massive progress of the World Computer Initiative and why Elastos is positioned to capture a huge opportunity in the coming cycle.
The mission is clear. The tech is ready. Watch this.👇
今天在纽约受邀拜访了摩根斯坦利的执行董事Grace King以及她的一些富豪客户（可惜刘晓庆没来），分享了我使用BT CD的成功经验。我是八月一号BTCD上线后就注入了一个比特币参与铸造稳定币，然后用这些稳定币又参与了一些PGA NFT投资和ELA LP挖矿，我获得利润后又持续购入比特币再铸造了更多稳定币，我再次把这些BTCD大部分又购买了比特币，小部分又投入挖矿。我一共开了不同时间四个仓位，所以我不用担心还款，每到一个仓位借款要到期我就从LP池中撤出BTCD还款然后赎出比特币再重新铸造BTCD进入LP池挖矿，就这样循环操作我现在仓位里已经有了五个比特币（不到半年时间），这意味着我只要拿住四年，我将充分享受比特币平均每年很可能超过100%的升值利润（根据历史数据） ，而只需要付出每年7%的利息费用（不用担心爆仓，只要到期还款）。BTCD真是太好的金融工具，她能让我们所有人都能在ELA- PGA公链上发财。摩根斯坦利的大客户们纷纷表示他们至少每个人愿意拿出一个比特币尝试重复我的经验。只要NBW系统中质押了超过一万个比特币，作为双治理代币的ELA和PGA能有在2026年起飞的机会。
